Consider Conley Jr.

I was having a discussion in the forum a few days ago about the likelihood of the Blazers taking Mike Conley Jr. My contention was that, if the Blazers end up picking in the 4-7 range don't get one of the first three picks, they probably wouldn't take Conley Jr., opting rather to trade the pick. A few forum-ites mentioned that they had heard that Pritchard was pretty high on Conley Jr., which could very well be true.

Greg (Portland): Blazers....keep their pick (who?) or trade for a veteran (who?)

SportsNation Chad Ford: (12:44 PM ET ) Lots of guys in this draft like Corey Brewer, Julian Wright and Jeff Green who could help the Blazers. And I'm not sure that Mike Conley shouldn't be in the conversation. I think he's an upgrade over Jarrett Jack and even Sergio Rodriguez. However, at some point, you can have too many young players. Soon, these players contracts will end and they'll want big deals. The Blazers need to be very careful managing their cap. So ... if a trade presented itself that could help clear some cap space and bring back some veteran help, you might want to consider it.

So what do you think about Mike Conley Jr? I like his game, but I'm a little weary of short point guards who've had the luxury of playing with Greg Oden for the majority of their prep/collegiate careers. If you've got any thoughts, throw 'em, in the comments.
